1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a sight-threatening complication of diabetes that is associated with longer duration of diabetes and poor glycemic control under a genetic susceptibility background. Although GWAS of PDR have been conducted in Europeans and Asians, none has been done in continental Africans, a population at increased risk for PDR. Here, we report a GWAS of PDR among Africans.
